Camilo Franco - Minutos Antes De – EP (2014)

Comment: Camilo
Franco is a musician from Buenos Aires, Argentina whose 3-track issue is a
seamless drift between IDM-tinged electronic explorations and pop inflected
vamp. Indeed, by listening to it one can perceive a posture and attitude being
so characteristic to the end of the 90s and the beginning of the 00s being mostly
related to the minimal techno/IDM scene of Continental Europe (mostly artists
and labels related to Germany, and Austria). By listening to it at the moment
it chimes like something of mood music – it used to meander slowly in between
rhythmic and harmonic banks without rapid changes in sonic fabric and harmony. All
those chord changes can be perceived markedly arousing a feeling of calm and an
absence of agitation. Antes is an exception
because it merges together climax fuelled voices of a man and woman thereby
arousing sexual desire in the listener. On the other side, the aforementioned
compartment is backed up by sublime synth chord progressions reminding of an
early and mid-period Kraftwerk (which was less techno and electro-oriented). In
a nutshell, it is a decent work. Find it out at the discography of Sólo le Pido
a Dior Records.
